CONSULTATIONS Romania’s president Nicuşor Dan announced he would begin informal consultations with political parties to form a new government, after the cabinet led by the Liberal Ilie Bolojan was dismissed on Tuesday via a no-confidence vote. The president explained that he will organise official consultations only after the options have become clear. The head of state called for calm and stressed that Romania will have a new government with pro-Western values within a “reasonable timeframe.” Nicuşor Dan ruled out the possibility of early elections. The Romanian Parliament withdrew its confidence in PM Ilie Bolojan after a no-confidence vote initiated by the Social Democrats in the former ruling coalition and backed by the opposition parties garnered the most votes in the country’s democratic history: 281 votes in favour and only 4 against. Following Parliament’s decision, Liberal Party leaders decided to no longer participate in the government alongside the Social Democrats. The USR also no longer wishes to partner with the Social Democrats and has proposed closer collaboration with the Liberals. The Democratic Union of Ethnic Hungarians in Romania is yet to make a decision. On the other hand, the Social Democratic Party claims it wants to find a quick solution for the government, for the sake of the country’s stability. AUR party, in opposition, says it wants to participate in the government only if it gets to appoint the new prime minister. From a constitutional standpoint, the government led by Ilie Bolojan may remain in an interim capacity for 45 days, during which time it will not be able to issue emergency orders or introduce new laws.
